PingOne Platform APIs

Step 3: Create user

   

POST {{apiPath}}/environments/{{envID}}/users

The POST {{apiPath}}/environments/{{envID}}/users operation creates a new user resource in the specified environment. The user is associated with the population created in the prior step (Step 2).

The request body requires these properties:

  • email

    The unique email address for the new user.

  • username

    A name for the new user. This name must be unique within the specified environment.

  • population.id

    The population to associate with the new user resource.
